UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. IDRIS IBRAHIM FAHRA
Judge Haynes
DEFENDANT IDRIS FAHRA'S MOTION IN LIMINE
O PROHIBIT THE USE OF THE TERM "VICTIM" TO REFER TO
WITNESSES OR FAMILY MEMBERS OF WITNESSESS
Comes now Fdris Fahra, by and through counsel, Jennifer Lynn Thompson, and would move this Honorable Court for an Order preventing any witness , or attorney from referring to persons in this matter as "Victims." The use of the term victim requires a conclusion that such a person has been harmed or injured as a result of a crime. The use of the term "Victim" is prejudicial and has no probative value. Therefore, Counsel now asks that witnesses and attorneys be prohibited from referring to any person in this matter as a "Victim."
Respectfully submitted,
